Reinhard Heydrich's Jewish Roots,

Reinhard Heydrich, the mastermind of the Holocaust, is believed to have been Jewish.

Walter Schellenberg in his Memoirs (p. 207) writes: "Canaris told me after Heydrich's death that he possessed proof of Heydrich's Jewish ancestry."

"When Heydrich was a child in Halle, neighborhood children made fun of him, calling him "Isi" (Izzy), short for Isidor, a name with a Jewish connotation.

"When he served in the navy, many of his comrades believed he was Jewish. Some called him the "blond Moses."

"Others who lived in Halle have claimed that everybody believed that his father, the musician Bruno Heydrich, was a Jew.

"Half-Jew Alice Schaper nee Rohr, who took piano lessons from Bruno, claimed, "We all knew he was Jewish. ...He looked just like a typical Jew."

"In town, Bruno was called Isidor Suess behind his back. With such rumors going around, it was not surprising that Heydrich felt continually burdened by these allegations, especially when he served as an SS general."
